Pictionary

As a child who enjoyed drawing this was one of my favourite childhood boardgames and still is. The game is played by at least 2 teams of 2 or more players. The teams move around the board by rolling a dice, and on each go take it in turns to draw a picture of something (e.g. an eskimo, Japan, or Tim Henman) written on one of the cards for their partner to guess. There are 5 categories of things to draw: objects, person place or animal, action, difficult or allplay in which both teams compete. The winning team gets to the end of the board first by guessing the most drawings correctly. This game is enjoyable for adults and older children, and the ...  Read the complete review

I am very aware that this site requires opinion of a product and not really a detailed explanation of the product itself. For the sake of this review, it should be enough to say that Pictionary is a game where two opposing teams have to battle it out against each-other. One member of each team has a card with things written on it (films, songs, sayings etc), and has to draw on a small pad of paper for the other team to guess what it is. First up, this game is all art based, which isolates a lot of people who really don't like drawing. I have played with a few people who just really don't like to draw, and are left depressed! A better game in that case is ...  Read the complete review

With it still practically being Christmas and all, I thought I'd write about an excellent game which becomes especially excellent, at this festive time of year. I'm not really 100% sure on the rules, but that really doesn't matter with this game. As long as you have a basic idea, its a great fun for all the family to play. The game revolves around 2 teams (even though the box might state otherwise) which can be made up of as many people as you like (as long as they can all see clearly). Then one person is nominated from each team as the 'artiste'. Then a card is picked and a dice is rolled. The cards contain subjects from 6 categories. ...  Read the complete review

Pictionary as got to be one of my favourite board games of all time, and now that christmas is coming the board games all come out, so I'm going to get to play it a lot more. Contents: *Gameboard *One minute timer *500 word cards *1 Die *4 playing pieces *Pads and pencils Pictionary is a fantasitic game which can be played by 3 to 16 players, the more the better in my opinion. I wouldn't advise playing with 3 people as it is a bit boring, 4's great though! The players get into their teams, up to 4 teams can play at once, 2 teams is fine. Every team has a pad, pencil, category card and also a playing piece. ...  Read the complete review

The new version of pictionary is even better. They have added more new questions and looks good too. This is still one of the best games around and the more people the merrier. The idea is to divide into teams and each team member takes a turn at drawing. You have different categories which depends on where you land on the board at a throw of a dice. Then you have to draw in any way shape or form so that the others can guess the word. Sometimes it will be that team only but can be all play which is where the fun really starts. Each team frantically drawing the picture and shouting out what they think it is before someone else beats them to it. Does ...  Read the complete review
